Dear All
I need to source the following for a 1994 300TD (estate)...

1 Beam converter / masks for driving an RHD vehicle on the wrong side of the road.
2 Some sort of protectors for the front headlamps to stop russian stones breaking the glass.

These are "holiday" items so need to be capable of being put on taken off easily. I've tried trawling the net but so far not much success.

Thanks in advance

Les

I would steer clear of the Hellfrauds beam converters and instead buy them from your local friendly stealership. During our last trip to Germany GrahamC230K, Sym & I compared beam converters and Graham's was easily the best quality product, as bought from the dealer whereas Sym and I had sourced ours from Halfords. The problem with the Halfords converters is that they are fairly thick, could cause headlamp wipers to stick and once back in Blighty, the adhesive is a real swine to remove.

Wonder if they could be glued to the protectors instead then ;)
 
...interesting - my headlamps (will) have little wipers on them (provided my bank gets its finger out and transfers the funds today).
Banana's all round.
